I am looking to order a new topcoat for the winter. The topcoat will be worn over a sportcoat, and w/o a tie. Given that, I'm pretty set on a SB (think DB looks odd if one isn't wearing a suit+tie).
Color / Fabric: Pretty much set on a 17oz. wool in a light gray + brown mix (much like the one worn by Alden in this video: http://dresswithstyle.com/2009/12/06...he-6-x-3-polo/)
Style: I'm thinking SB (as I said), 3 buttons (all dark brown), turnback cuffs, no breast welt, and two flapped pockets + ticket pocket.
I do like envelope pockets, but also like my coats to be reasonably lean and fitted. Would envelope pockets look out of place on such a coat?
Length: Right at the knee. Agree?
Any comments on the above would be helpful,
ET
